<DIV>LWV Leaders and Advocates: </DIV>
<DIV>Support for pay equity for job titles of comparable worth has been a League
position for at least 17 years, and it would really be nice to make some
progress on this issue. I represent LWVNY on the NYSPEC steering committee
and I'm the one who recruited Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli as the speaker and
promised that the event would draw 250 people, so <FONT color=#0000ff>I will
really appreciate it if you make every effort to attend this
event</FONT>, <FONT color=#ff0000>and if you would forward this
invitation</FONT> to all your LWV members and to anyone else interested
in economic, racial or gender justice. <FONT
